Stuck in Seattle

While cooking breakfast I was listening to "Are you smarter than a 5th grader". A guy who claimed to have a Masters Degree in Marketing was asked, "What Jonathan Swift novel featured Lilliputians and (couldn't hear the rest)?" He replied "Sweeney Todd."
Then he was asked, "What was the first satellite put in orbit?" He had no clue and went with the kids answer and was wrong.
Then he was asked, "The Wabash River begins in Ohio and has to cross through what state to get to Illinois?" He answered "Colorado."
WTF? Colorado?
He did answer correctly when asked how many US coins are the minimum required to make up 35 cents. But he had to count on his fingers.
Masters Degree. Somebody shut that college down IMMEDIATELY.
